Howdy, Recently i formatted my pc (both hard drives) now ive reinstalled windows, However only one of my hard drives is being recognized the other one isnt ???

Is there some software i have to install or do i have to fiddle about with the bios settings ?????

Any help would be much appreciated

It looks as if you haven't installed the drivers for the Raid controller, once you have done that then the drive should be picked up by Windows. You will also have to make sure the controller is enabled in bios but I think that is already done otherwise Windows wouldn't be querying the Raid controller.

You can get them from your motherboard manufacturer, either on the driver CD you get with it or there are probably updated versions on the manufacturers website.
